Solar in Noida: what's different locally

Noida's mix of builder floors and high-rises splits the market: independent floors go the standard route, societies use the ₹18,000/kW common-facility subsidy. High AC loads make summer savings substantial.

DISCOM: PVVNL zone of UPPCL; high-rise societies should use the GHS/RWA route.

Typical residential areas going solar: Sector 50, Sector 62, Greater Noida West, anywhere with a shadow-free roof works the same way.
